Electronic Device for Wheelchair Treadmill Workout Data Conversion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional treadmills for wheelchairs lack the capability to measure and provide workout information to users, leading to inadequate motivation and reduced workout effectiveness.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device that communicates with a treadmill for a wheelchair, acquiring data on the rotation of the treadmill's roller structures and converting it into data related to the wheelchair's main wheels, allowing for analysis and provision of workout information to users.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a treadmill for wheelchair is used without measurement capability, then the device structure remains simple, but workout information cannot be measured and provided to users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an electronic device as an intermediary between the treadmill and the user. This external device receives data from the treadmill's roller structures via communication module, processes the information, and provides workout analysis to the user. This approach enables measurement functionality without complicating the treadmill's mechanical structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces direct mechanical measurement mechanisms with an electronic data processing system. Instead of using mechanical sensors and displays integrated into the treadmill, the system uses communication modules to transmit rotational data to an electronic device that performs analysis and provides feedback through software applications.
2Productivity
If workout information is not provided to users, then the device remains simple to operate, but user motivation and workout effectiveness are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback system where the electronic device receives rotational data from the treadmill, analyzes workout information, and provides personalized training modes and feedback to the user. This feedback loop enhances user motivation and workout effectiveness by showing progress and providing customized recommendations based on measured performance data.
3Measurement precision
If rotational data from roller structures is converted to main wheel data, then accurate workout analysis is enabled, but data processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms rotational data parameters from the roller structures into equivalent main wheel rotation data through mathematical conversion. The processor calculates the rotational relationship between the rollers and main wheels to provide accurate workout metrics, enabling precise measurement without requiring direct sensors on the main wheels.
Data Source
AI summary
The present invention relates to an electronic device including: a communication module, a display, and a processor. The processor may acquire first data representing the rotation of a first roller structure of a treadmill for a wheelchair and second data representing the rotation of a second roller structure of the treadmill for the wheelchair through the communication module, analyze the first and second data to convert the analyzed data into data related to the rotation of a first main wheel and data related to the rotation of a second main wheel of the wheelchair placed on top of the treadmill for the wheelchair, match the data related to the rotation of the first main wheel and the data related to the rotation of the second main wheel to an input command, and control the application according to the input command.
